In a recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, the first guest was the talented Jon Hamm, known for his roles in Mad Men and Fargo. Jon plays the character of Sheriff Roy Tillman in the fifth season of Fargo, a legitimately madman who enforces the laws of the land with an unmatched fervor. Fargo is currently airing on FX and is available for streaming on Hulu.
During the interview, Jon shared his experience filming Fargo in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. He mentioned how beautiful the location was, but also highlighted the freezing temperatures that come with shooting in Fargo. And to add to the challenge, Jon had a scene where he had to be naked. While he joked about being more of a fan of warm nakedness, he admitted that the scene was a memorable one.
Speaking of the scene, Jon’s character in Fargo is seen discussing matters of state while in a moist repose. The scene has become a classic, showcasing Jon’s acting abilities and adding a unique twist to the show. However, Jon humorously mentioned that he didn’t know his butt would look like that with all the pixels when watching the scene. He also revealed that he had to wear a flesh-colored sock to maintain modesty during the scene, and that it wasn’t a pleasant experience.
Aside from his work on Fargo, Jon also discussed his recent marriage. He mentioned that it took him half a century to find the right person, but he finally tied the knot with his beautiful wife. The couple got married in a cliffside ceremony in Big Sur, California. Tall John, a mutual friend of theirs, officiated the wedding, adding an extra touch of uniqueness to their special day.
As the conversation continued, Jimmy Kimmel couldn’t help but bring up Jon’s love for the St. Louis Blues hockey team. Dressed in a blue suit, Jon shared his excitement about attending the team’s rookie dinner while they were in Los Angeles. He told Jimmy that he knows quite a few of the players and was happy to show his support for the Blues.
In a surprise twist, Jimmy then asked Jon for a favor. A member of the audience named Rich was selling his 2004 Oldsmobile Alero on Craigslist for $2,000, and Jimmy thought Jon could lend his voiceover skills to create a better advertisement for the car. Jon happily obliged and voiced a funny and engaging script for the car ad, highlighting the unique features and history of the vehicle.
Jon Hamm‘s appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live was filled with laughs and interesting tidbits about his work on Fargo and his personal life. With his wit and charm, Jon entertained the audience and left them eagerly anticipating the next episode of Fargo.
